Single-board efficiency
By combining WLAN and Bluetooth on a single board, the AR9002UB-1NGB offers a 20% RBOM reduction vs. separate WLAN and Bluetooth boards. The single board design enables sharing of elements such as the PCB and antennas to reduce duplication. For system site, the AR9002UB-1NGBB saves PCIe Socket and extra antennas as well. The AR9271 integrates the MAC/baseband and radio transceiver, as well as the power amplifier, low noise amplifiers and antenna switch – the entire RF front end.
